THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD / 1 CORINTHIANS 1:20

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 1:20

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

Worldly wisdom excludes God because it emphasizes self-sufficiency and makes human knowledge the highest authority. It refuses to accept God’s revelation in Jesus Christ.

1. God calls this wisdom foolishness (1 Corinthians 3:19-20) because it has kept humans from finding and believing the truth so that they may come to know their Creator (1 Corinthians 1:21).
2. A Christian’s worldview must be firmly based on God’s Word and its message of Christ, which will show the secular worldview as a rejection of God and His truth (1 Corinthians 1:18-31; 2:1-16; Acts 17:18; Romans 1:20-32; Colossians 2:8; 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; 2 Peter 2:1-3,7; Jude 1:4-9). The original and true message of “the cross of Christ” (1 Corinthians 1:17; 1 Corinthians 1:18) must never be compromised or twisted to accommodate worldly philosophy, science or any other wisdom that man proclaims as great (1 Corinthians 2:4-5; Galatians 6:14).
